Cosa tratta questo video
After five months in a marina, the owner of a cruising sailboat completes a series of refit projects before departing for local Fiji waters.16:21 Maintenance tasks included cleaning a fouled propeller, replacing the impeller, and repairing a starter motor connection.0:27 The electrical system upgrade features a new 330-amp-hour lithium battery bank, a DC-to-DC charger, a shore power charger, and a battery monitor, which now allows for electric cooking.16:32 Additional work included installing a new windlass and applying new bottom paint.16:48 During initial sea trials, the boat navigated between reefs near Musket Cove and Laotoka.2:41 The owner reports that the new battery bank requires approximately two hours of generator run-time daily to support refrigeration, fans, and camera equipment, as the vessel lacks space for solar panels.22:20 Following a provisioning trip to the Laotoka market, the boat remains anchored while the owner performs cosmetic hull painting.21:57
